Legend:

So, let's fast forward a couple of years to PyCon 2005. If you don't know, this is a Python conference that's held every year. Simon and I, and also our other developer Jacob Kaplan-Moss, who's handling AV, went there, and we did a short lightning talk. It was five minutes, showing off Django and what it does and how fast it makes things. And people were just going gaga over those things. A lot of people came up to me afterward, I got a lot of emails afterward, so we were thinking 'wow, we should open source this' - not only because it's going to be a cool service to contribute back to the community, but because it would get outside developers giving us code. So, you know, it's kind of a win-win.

So we did, we open sourced it in July. This is the Django website, it's at www.djangoproject.com, I''ll have that URL later also. Since July, we've had a ton of awesome contributions, people have been using it, people all over the world - Poland, Australia using it - it's awesome.
